Back in the day they’d have free delivery and a free pizza if it took more than 30 minutes.

That was a bad thing. It killed people. Literally. Drivers were incentivized to drive recklessly to meet the deadline, and it caused them to wreck into pedestrians and other cars

Okay maybe not the 30 minute deadline but free delivery was awesome

If you place your order by using the restaurant's own website or call the them on the phone then you still get free delivery today. Or at least that's how it is in nyc almost always

Most restaurants around here just outsource that to DoorDash.

And if you order for pickup they sometimes give your food to a random driver because it says “DoorDash” on the ticket
